There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. (Psalm 46:4 ESV) I love this verse. I love the chapter that it’s in. It’s a great Psalm to ponder on. This verse though, it’s so rich. I could spend hours meditating on that. A river […]
Read More A River Runs Through ItThen Moses turned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.” (Exodus 5:22-23 ESV) It’s not […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 05 – Before Things Get BetterI can’t empathise the plight of being a woman. The journey of understanding the female gender I quickly understood has to be taken with one female at a time. Even that journey is … fascinating and subject to change. It doesn’t make matters easy with men. After all, as we know, people are just weird. […]

Read More Exodus Extracts 03 – I Will Part 1Certain words used to be mentioned frequently, then went slightly out of fashion, then got a reboot before falling into some disarray and then going through the cycle again.

Read More About RepentanceThe alien in Egyptian royalty. The rejected among his own. The fugitive in a strange land. It’s fascinating reading of the birth and early years of Moses. From his birth to his upbringing, to his vigilante equaliser efforts, to helping out the women in Midian. There is so much to consider in these early journeys. […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 02 – Moses The MisfitRoughly 15 years ago I was big into reading about church growth techniques. Sure, somebody could have told me to just read scriptures and then see how God does it in His own time and His own way and developing a science about it is like looking to bottle brilliance and sell it as a […]
